moki'smommy Posted April 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hand phone to teen or 20 something with request that they turn off all apps. Resume using phone.:) If you take the phone to the internet expert (at GS on Dream/Fantasy, internet cafe on Magic/Wonder), they are happy to turn off everything for you. But be careful--the missed one app on daughter's phone. She found it when she realized that she'd used a couple of mb "doing nothing." I suggested she check apps, and she found one. After that, 14 days of minimal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartmanLA Posted April 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Also be sure to turn off automatic updates to apps or software on the phone those can eat up data in the background and you won't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic6 Posted April 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Here is the sheet from our 2015 cruise. Unfortunately is was a copy of the color sheet (they had run out of the others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki'smommy Posted April 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Call your service provider. Sent from my iPad using Forums It has nothing to do with your service provider (who may or may not be supplying your phone). It is all about the phone settings. Sorry, but my kid knows more about fixing phone problems than the dudes at our local AT&T outlet--she fixed her own after they spent an hour, made phone calls to the national office, etc. They ultimately told her it was an Apple problem...she was sure it was not. And she fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmock Posted April 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sorry, but it has everything to do with your provider, assuming that the provider supplied the phone. They are the ones who can help. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjlocke Posted April 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Look, it's easy and has nothing to do with apps. Turn on airplane mode and then turn on wifi. Unless you've signed up for the onboard internet access, and are logged into that, the only app that will work is your DCL app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to be able to use internet for e-mail, etc. without having their package eaten alive by "stuff" happening on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebFromCanada Posted April 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I haven't been yet, so I can't speak to the accuracy ... however, there is a detailed list of instructions on another blog you may find helpful. Google "10 Steps to Conserve Wi-Fi Onboard Your Disney Cruise" and you should have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
